My Thoughts

This audiobook is great for these busy weeks and I really enjoyed dipping in and out of the selection of short festive stories. They are a good mix of situations and characters, all featuring people near Christmas who are at different stages of their lives. You also see families who are faced with sad circumstances, such as the family who are remembering their father who has died but whose voice you hear as he observes the scene, The first story shows a how a missing pet has worried all the members of the family who are anxious to find their lost cat. You see the different pressures which people are under.

    Ultimately, the overall tone of the stories is a hopeful one with new starts and new relationships on the cards for some. The stories are clearly narrated by Colette who captures the different voices and she makes the stories such a pleasant way to spend some time.  

 In short: festive treats

 

 

About the Author

Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England with her husband, two children, a crazy cocker spaniel and a rather aloof cat. Her writing journey began at the age of twelve when she completed her first novel. She discovered the fantasy genre in her late teens and has never looked back. Giving up work to raise a family gave Suzanne the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream.

Now an author of four fantasy novels, including the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy and a standalone fantasy, Visions of Zarua, Suzanne has recently turned her hand to short stories with four collections published to date.

She loves gardening and has a Hebe (shrub) fetish. She enjoys cooking with ingredients from the garden and regularly feeds unsuspecting guests vegetable-based cakes. Suzanne collects books, is interested in history and enjoys wandering around castles and old ruins whilst being immersed in the past. She likes to combine her love of nature and photography on family walks, but most of all she loves to escape with a great film, binge watch TV shows, or soak in a hot bubble bath with an ice cream and a book.
